I hope we eventually learn from our mistakes and that Trump is wiser than Obama.
The arms just end up in ISIS and Al Queda hands. Without Obama sending our military equipment to rebels in Syria there wouldnt be the huge Syrian refugee problem now.
Hostile? Russia you say? Is that the country that has an ex-KGB murderer who silences his opponents and has declared himself dictator for life? That Russia? LOL
Withdrawing does support Russia/Assad. That may be a vast simplification but yeah, that is what we should do.
Any help to the rebels hurts Russia - as Russia wants to keep their warm water navy base in Syria that they could lose if the rebels win.
We should just stay out of that hornet's nest unless there is a direct threat to the US...I would dare say the US pumping weapons into the regions is creating a direct threat to the US where one didn't truly exist beforehand.
Any action we take there can be a misstep, there is less harm in just staying out.

I think we have to admit that if anyone knows about the actions of a scumbag, it's Putin!
If and when Trump withdraws all US support for either side I'll applaud, if he supports Russia/Assad he'll prove himself merely another inept politician in a line of them far too long.
Trump has failed to outline any strategy in Syria, but I think there is a good chance he will betray our allies there, ans side with Russia.
You guys complain that Obama is too weak, and you complain when he is assertive. Make up your minds.
Nope, Obama should stick with what he knows best, Community activism. Who would have thought some Jr. Senator from a corrupt district in Illinois would be topling world leaders of other countries
